Korean Feminists Embracing the “Four No’s” Philosophy

I am not sure how popular this supposed movement actually is in South Korea, but the declining birth rate is probably little effected by it when compared to other factors like the cost and stress of educating children:

Bonnie Lee doesn’t care about finding a boyfriend or a fairy-tale wedding, and will decide her own happily-ever-after: “I’m a straight woman who is no longer interested in having relationships with men.”

She is not alone.

A growing number of South Korean women are banding together to reject rigid patriarchal norms and vowing never to wed, have children or even date and have sex.

“I’ve always felt that as a woman there are more disadvantages than advantages to being married,” said Lee, a 40-something professional who lives with her dog near Seoul.

Now she has gone even further, embracing the nation’s radical feminist movement called 4B, from the “four nos”: no dating, no sex, no marriage and no child-rearing.

The 4Bs ???
Isn’t 4 supposed to be an unlucky number in Korean culture?
Oh well, I guess feminism and bad luck go together. LOL!

Education isn’t completing a course of study at a university. But if she’s been surrounded by kpop nancy-boys all her life, I understand her attitude. I met a few like her in Korea. Women who believed wearing a pantsuit to the office made them “one of the boys.”

It’s not a new thing. It’s just a loser thing. But it’s more by choice than anything else. She just needs to stop hanging out with pro-nork incels…

They probably only have 2 Nos and those are the last two.

Somebody needs to gently tell her that you can’t have feminism without femininity.

Smokes, you know the patriarchy staged that. And the unattractive woman with the oversized clothes behind her.

People assume others want to know unasked questions. 99.999% of people don’t want to know about the personal lives of strangers.

The fact that this woman feels compelled to tell everyone indicates her deep trauma from not being special. Too much narcissism is a bad thing

BTW, what makes her think marriage guarantees sex, children, or problems? She is not well-educated. And it’s so sad to see people like this so close to Christmas.

Setnaffa, I thought that was a nancy-boy.
